If the Parkland families are a disarming mob,
Then the NRA counter-evolutionaries
are an automated killer infestation.

When I was an undergraduate
in Michigan
I became fascinated with my bilaterally transubstantiating internal conversation
about sufficient v necessary evidence
for thought v feeling experience
That communication’s principles of co-empathic persuasion
were also healthy-positive psychology’s research
on how to best regenerate Left/Right cooperatively resilient attitude change,
both feelings and thoughts,
to grow gratitude attitudes about spaciated places
bodily experienced as sometimes confluent peace
but sometimes dissonant
feelings of cognitive-affectively toxic
Win/Lose stress pathologies
and yet still polyphonically accessible
to deeply entrenched confluent WinWin memory pathways
back toward warm wet wombed
4-spacetime dimensional
ZeroZone breathing-nurturing-nutritional Matriarchal-Paradise,
Primal ego/eco-systemic health-care relationships,
political-psychological communication of winning-cause
with winning-effective power,
led me toward wanting more
ever-more
addictively more healthy community cooperative green organic development
for ever-deeper polycultural experience,
for more internal dialectal planning
through multicultural health-discernment
of how we can cooperatively and actively hope
to achieve optimal WinWin economic-ecological resilient outcomes
through ego/eco-systemic bilateral mindfulness.
Which,
in Bucky Fuller’s Synergy Earth-WholeSystem Universe,
not to be confused with the more LeftBrain dominant Scientology,
might also be described as
geometric ZeroCore cooperative EarthSoul unitarian inside networking
in dialectal-experiential-primal nutritional ego-dialogue
with our Whole nonspecial-case Universe outside interdependent environment,
composed of integral energy democracy systemic god
against chaotic-entropic-dissonant-fragmented
overly-competitive degenerative
lack of resiliently healthy hope.
Which
leads me to wonder:
How do we best restore economic-ecological climate justice peacefully
from lofty LeftBrain academic-empirical-deductive-dominant theory
about InterReligious Dialogue
and InterNational PublicHealthy Climate WinWin Diplomacy
to everyday grade school through eco-schooled
outdoor and indoor classrooms
built by transectarian non-violent communicating
compassionate co-ego/eco-therapists
CoRedeeming transubstantiating
creolizing
communion experiences
of co-empowering celebration
WinWin healing
cooperatively-owned and empowered
multicultural regenerative trends
in deep bilateral learning together
Win-health to Win-wealth
ZeroZone nature/spirit GoldenRules
nurturing Yang/Yin
Universal/Unitarian
health/wealth gaming systems
of integral Group Whole-Open-NonSpecialCase-DisEmbodied-Metric Theories
for evolutionary/revolutionary nutritional paradigms
emerging from resilient nondual assumptions,
puzzles,
and questions
ironically iconic of 4D
bilateral-bionic-biotic DNA string health-systems
fractal-holonic
composed of bilateral nature/spirit
image/memory robust energy-dialogical
Zero ZenZones
cooperatively committed
to healthy co-acclimating green-wealth praxis
of trans-cultural
non-sectarian solidarity.
My question remains,
What is Earth’s best WinWin compassionate health-praxis?
Why does this addictively seem,
for me,
to be
Our inherently intuitive
panentheistic
transubstantiating thought,
our secular belief
and sacred feeling,
of Whole Universal System
multicultural transectarian nature/spirit dialogue,
dialectal soil/soul creolization,
multiculturally polypathic compulsion
toward climate restoring justice,
favoring robust biotic vulcanization,
investing in restorative WinWin regeneration
of ego-psychological
and eco-political discernment
for ecological health
and not theological pathology,
discerning polypathic diplomatic health/wealth co-discovery.
Fight and Flee Free
Some would say,
although not LaoTse,
and maybe not the Lakotae,
certainly not Animae,
or my Aunty Mae
on Mary Jae,
Egos just wanna fight or flee
or something strangely Other
than with or against
ego-viral identity.
But Taoists
healthy-Yang with wealthy-Yin display,
In-between fight and flee
lies our more ambiguously WinWin transubstantiating Way,
already there,
for those who Left with Right see
what we could be
with actually quite a bit more integrity.
Synergy between opposing Elite/NonElite emotions
need not necessarily end in quick-sand
UnHoly Spirited chaos
of alien ambiguous Other,
mere positive or negative or not-not double-boundup intentions
hiding on Other side
of ego fragmentation–
Integrity remains Earth’s original eco-interdependent
RightMind intuition
of and for creative dipolar apposition
between active fight and passive flee
non-abusive
non-neglectful
non ego-narcissistic
non anthro-hubris
WinWin RealTalk communication,
too non-violently curious to fight,
too non-aggressively courageous to flee.
Sometimes,
between fight and flee
and you
and me,
I prefer to listen to divinely majestic mountains
and whisper through Earth’s HolySpirited valleys
promising to return
to our originally democratic
blue-green surfing sea.
SomeTimes
Everything growing so wild
and faithfully beneath

wondering why we are the terrible

to refuse our yin-feminist flowering,
our own more cooperative ownership
and transparently universal management

with, and not against,

Now suppressed absence
of healthy resilient

Black Life Shatters
My oldest son,
one of the few Earth-mattering
Earth-shattering
Black lives
I was made to protect
to guide
by eco-righteous WinWin acts
and co-passioning words,
Felt, and therefore was, disempowered,
worthless,
like helpless prey among predators
who listen to the same rap,
same urban Earth writes,
same multicultural performances,
When a gun was dispassionately pointed at his head.
This was only tangentially about an economic exchange
primal, personally and politically, targeted.
He felt violated,
and threatened,
already home and identity invaded,
when forced to hand over his car keys,
and the back door
and front door
keys to his home.
He knows these guys,
where to find them on Facebook,
at the casino,
in the dance and rap clubs
where he invested
infested
while still in high school.
Urban night school, unEarthly,
earthy
darkly sensual.
He does not know where to find them in church.
Gospel music is for grandmothers.
Liturgical dance,
sacred rituals,
are for outside romance
on warm wet wombed erotic nights.
He felt naked
exposed
terrified when they demanded his last dime.
This is his biggest and baddest bully,
his most deeply echoing “LOSER!”
His darkest dirge
speaking of suicidal revenge.
Or prison,
where Earth’s great white patriarchal State,
will put a gun to his head
and force him to remove his clothes
and bend over
to assume the even more lost position,
Raped of any future hope
to rest outdoors
after an ecstatic liturgical dance
under a romantic full moon
rapping
and dancing
ultra-violet variations
on a warm wet wombed
bright delight.
Not So Bright Delight
You talk our talk
like Black Lives Matter,
but you walk your own walk
as Black lives shatter,
Brown lives stutter,
Green lives splinter.
What’s a-matter?
You want to want
all lives to splatter?
Might hear to hear
RealTalk ain’t chatter,
You eat to eat
friends heads on platters.
We taste to see
your fake get fatter.
Your act is tired.
Your allies scatter.
You need to feed
on guns’ disaster.
Come on now, Felix,
What’s a-matter?
Where’s your commitment
to Black Lives Matter?
Practice Makes Praxis
When I mention my morning meditation practice,
many respond with wishes and hopes
they could
would
should discipline themselves
to also join in to this practice
practice
praxis
until fragmented uncommunicative ego/ecosystems
finally get life resiliently realistically right
more than ego-narcissistically wrong.
But this,
I ego-think and eco-feel,
reverses what is a more eco-centrally profound point
of ZeroZone cosmic-organic view.
Everyday life is already our active meditation
which we Win/Lose practice,
Business As Usual practice
praxis
until we hope to get us
interdependently Win/Win healthy right
more than Lose/Lose pathologically diseased wrong.
Muse of BlackHistory
Music ministry
as inviting to blues and jazz,
embracing soulful gospel
as black and brown and white multiculturally intended,
at least on MLKing SabbathDream Days,
feels not yet enough un-privileged,
increasingly side-tracked
from cooperative GreenEarth dreams reborn,
up-bearing
paid-forward into what more recent cultically degenerates
into an expanding historical commodified competition
in ego-personality marketing and idolizing worship.
Authentic WinWin non-violent singing messiahs
do not want to be WinLose competitive-ego worshiped,
misunderstood,
too easily dismissed as saints,
for the courage of their patience
with absence of cooperative interdependent resilient dreams
within solidarity of communion,
not fragmentation of originally nonsectarian
non-violent communication,
with our natural-rhythmed vibrating voices
and our bilateral hands and feet.
MLK’s
and Gandhi’s
and perhaps Jesus of Nazareth’s
and LaoTse’s
and Buddha’s
and Gaia’s music and resistance dance
and storytelling muses of music history
exalt our cooperative harmonies of wisdom,
non-violent everyday enchanting eco-villages and green meadows
investing in cooperatively self/other-owned economies,
compassionate interelationships of soulful co-passions,
good-news rhythms,
harmonic patterns of cooperatively-held historic resonant redemption
for depressed
and suppressed
and oppressed,
ego personality worshipers,
seriously unimpressed power-divas,
and struggling family peace-warriors
against Win/Lose ego-mortality
With sufficient courage to speak our cooperatively-owned
and managed eco-dreams
and curiosity enough to cooperatively explore
our white-privileged anthems
of pietistic fake-prophetic sufficiency of almost uniting,
not quite universal, EarthTribe peace, blind
to further noticing current lapses
in non-violent span-historical
pan-cultural communication,
cooperative investment,
compassionate resilience
positive democracy energetic resonance
Sung,
spoken,
and non-verbally RightBrain dreamed
and WinWin Left/Right framed
for good-faith justice climates
heading back oppressive punishing crusade histories
of hating interdependent communion economies,
polyculturally nutritious sufficiency for all EarthTribe,
more powerfully resilient
than mere Win/Lose business as usual ego-marketing commerce,
mono-paternalistically distorted,
ecoYin-unbalanced
egoYang-privileged, so not healthy democratic,
growing ego-conservative marketing status, so not ecologically resonant,
not green sanctuary robust
Regardless of how large or small
that Zero ZenZone musing sanctuary
may non-violently
non-fragmentedly
non-reductively
embrace all souls
as we interdependently co-arise
great historic muses of multiculturing reality,
health of integrity,
wealth of solidarity,
cooperatively responsible resilience.
Life and Death
Liberal lovers
claim maternal rights
to reproductive powers of yes and no,
maybe and not yet lives.
While conservative haters
demand paternalistic rights
to purchase and bear deproductive automated powers of terminal wrong,
terrorizingly maybe and not yet deaths.
I would not think
we would need a PhD in health care
environmental science
or divine arts and crafts
to see which leans closer
to full-score democratic resilience,
maybe and not yet quite polypathic resonance.
Compassion Politics
In good government sectors,
Inside capital-driven outside energized urban environments,
In healthy cooperative societies,
In proper green-civilizing schools,
and domestically robust economies,
Outer boundary views
remain openly and resiliently cooperative,
while less universally compassionate internal views,
from within each everyday and night non-sabbath,
non-elite ego-fragmentary, yet still eco-interdependent parts,
may compete for fair healthy investment share
to become sufficiently noticed
known
and appreciated.
In privately incorporated company(ies),
competition schools
and within ZeroSum economic assumptions:
If humanity Wins
then Earth must inevitably Lose,
promoting political systems running away
without balancing ecologically empowering economies,
Outer culture-boundary views
appear ponderously, narrowly, thickly, impermeably closed-off
by past competitions in self-defensive ego-promotion,
While more internal cooperative cultures
may privately long for healthier resilience,
for wealthiest co-passioning market corners,
cracks
healing positive revolutionary feelings and needs
to restore paid forward forgiveness
healing neglected, yet still malleable,
co-responsive climate fissures.
Despotic WalledSystem defensive dogma,
personally narcissistic
and politically cynical
and economically sadistic,
with realistic faith only in competitive business predators
result in short-term divestments away from cooperatively-owned health,
with outcomes stealing from next year’s
next generation’s authentically open opportunities
to compete against time
to cooperatively win
Earth’s annual health-market popularity contest,
A realistically healthy government sector
invests Earth-patriotically
ego-rationally
and eco-logically
in deep learning economies
promoting long-term communally resilient health
re-investments of and for Earth’s positively energetic democracy.
Engaging the Family Laundry
Perhaps infertile
incomplete
unwashed memories
of elder v younger,
Goliath v David,
crusades v communion
critical, yet part of chronic, events
speak extended family disengagement truth
to powerful dirty laundry engagement failures.
That disclaimer said,
I have two incomplete conversations
in mind and heart
and what I hope I will eventually learn
from mistakes in anemic compassion
too thin for nobler listening opportunities.
When I was sixteen,
I courageously confronted my dad
about his white supremacist beliefs,
which would not endorse slavery
but were oppressively too comfortable
with White nationalism
and patriarchal white-washed privileged capitalism
Win/Lose meritocracy theology,
teleology,
evolutionary ethology,
God’s chosen evidence of Black and Brown unfortunate
lack of pure enough LeftBrain intelligence
to successfully care for their own intellectual
and physical
property/properties God given
but in a more niggardly way.
After all, if they were as full of divine grace as we are
then they never would have become forced migrant fieldhands
and robotic domestic servants
before we had robotic domestic servants,
properly satisfied with a basic shack,
self-grown food,
cotton-picking and sugar-caning uniforms,
Rented and unrented servants capable of learning
yet not relentlessly driven by passion
for deeper democratic health interdependent webs of life
empowered each day by dense political understanding,
robust economic awareness of who has power to sell
and who has insufficient power to redeem
what could never be naturally-spiritually commodified
without severely wounded ego-disintegrity,
social madness,
political fury.
When I asked my dad,
Why are you so sure people of color,
especially women,
are so intellectually and emotionally and and mentally inferior to you,
the WhiteMan
living in an all white rural community
and all white nationalist church
fully invested in a white
plutocratic
military-industriously colonizing
authoritarian mess?
And an all white school system
and all white county government
all your life?
He could not point to any experience
of his own white superiority
But he could pull out a Reader’s Digest article
regarding research on standardized LeftBrain tests
with unstated lexicon
and linguistic norms
of dialectally empowered WhiteEnglish DominantSpeak.
My WiseElder dad told me to read it
and get back to his more seniority self
if I had any further naive questions.
That was the end of that conversation.
Question asked
and self-declared orthodox textual reference answered.
A year ago
I asked my White nationalist evangelical older brother
if he would vote for D Trumpian again,
and, if so, why?
Given his Christian God of love
and his GoodNews evangelistic vocation
to bring universal peace
and uniting divine justice to all people
everywhere,
now and in rapturous kingdom at near ill-defined hand
of future Heaven
for all eternity,
red and yellow,
black and white,
they are precious
in His sight.
My brother responded,
While troubled by Trumpian narcissism,
and maybe over-wrought cynicism,
Trump’s anti-immigrant
anti-Islam sectarianism
are a good faith fit
for God scripturally written to be pissed off
about pagan idolatrous hedonists
and uppity women
and lying stealing greedy children
and people too stupid to get it
that God has been strategically designed
in a RightWing dominant WhiteMan’s ancient
fascist
apartheid image
of spiritualized
denatured seclusion.
Well, OK,
he explicitly said just the first part,
about keeping out the threatening anti-Christian,
pro-liberal ecofeminist choice,
anti-family values foreigners,
All for building an impermeable moat
around a White privileged patriarchal “Christian” nation
on an awesome well-lit hill,
originally intended to be democratically enfranchised
only for White male property-owners,
possibly including Black and Native American slave property,
But only White property-owners have historically correct autonomous rights
to carry automatic military rifles
and drive gas and oil-hog Hummers to an all-White church
in substantially Black and Brown Flint, Michigan.
When I asked him why keeping Muslims,
and perhaps other Black
and suspiciously Spanish-speaking Brown people out,
was more important to his Christian beliefs
than keeping democratic family health care in
and USA climate therapeutic care
at the top of our global investment budget,
even higher than our ballistic automated threat budget
designed to blow up people
and plants
and planet,
He said he had no interest in that conversation.
The only important conversation for us,
from his fundamental dogma-centered power position,
was how much of the King James Holy Bible
I have properly memorized and adopted,
not adapted,
and invited into my personal everyday relationship with Jesus.
The political Jesus,
unmarried Messiah
and Teacher of following GoodNews Truth
into universal interdependent compassion,
most accessible to a child, wounded and poor in spirit,
when Win/Win Truth invites GoldenRule conflict
between elders and siblings
about signs of extended family integrity
and wonders of divinely humane non-walled communion,
non-apartheid community,
non-violent communication…
Again, I digress
from explicit historical conversations
about experiential evidence for White nationalist privilege
on into internal implications for WinWin empowering communion
where I can sometimes Left with Right childlike balance,
still finding and grasping onto
universally inviting unitarian
co-operative laundry cleaning compassion.
